Middleware for pervasive computing is an active area of research that is now starting to mature. Prototypical systems have been developed and used for demonstration applications in a number of domains. However, realistic pervasive environments of the future will need to
Exploring how pervasive computing can support situated learning
free download
Pervasive computing offers new ranges of possibilities when it comes to supporting learning and collaboration. The design of educational activities in these environments is a challenging task that raises the question of how pervasive computing can be used to support
Adaptability and interfaces: key to efficient pervasive computing
free download
As mobile and embedded computing devices become more pervasive , the nature of interaction between users and computers is evolving. Computing applications need to become increasingly autonomous and invisible, by placing greater reliance on knowledge of
Use of ontologies in pervasive computing environments
free download
Abstract Pervasive Computing Environments consist of a large number of independent entities that help transform physical spaces into computationally active and intelligent spaces. These entities could be devices, applications, services or users. In recent years
Handheld face identification technology in a pervasive computing environment
free download
We describe initial efforts at implementing a flexible, modular face identification framework in the context of a pervasive computing environment including handheld computers. Currently, the handheld is used for image capture, while all computation is performed on a back-end
Bigraphical programming languages for pervasive computing
free download
The Bigraphical Programming Language project at IT University of Copenhagen contributes to the UKCRC Ubiquitous Computing Grand Challenge by researching the use of bigraphical reactive systems as a general framework in which to combine theories for design
Context modeling and context-aware service adaptation for pervasive computing systems
free download
Devices in a pervasive computing system (PCS) are characterized by their context- awareness. It permits them to provide proactively adapted services to the user and applications. To do so, context must be well understood and modeled in an appropriate form
Pervasive computing in the home and community
free download
One of the major risks to independence for the elderly is the decline in the accomplishment of typical activities of daily living (ADLs) due to mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a precursor to Alzheimers disease.(In this chapter, we use ADL to refer to basic ADLs [such as eating
A service oriented definition of context for pervasive computing
free download
In pervasive computing , a set of smart devices communicate and collaborate together in order to provide adapted services to the user and applications, and help the former in his everyday life tasks. To adapt provided services, devices must be context-aware, which
Action-Oriented Query Processing for Pervasive Computing .
free download
Pervasive computing applications monitor physical-world phenomena and integrate data acquisition, communication and actions across small, heterogeneous devices (eg, smart sensors, network cameras and handheld devices). To ease the development of these
A Trust Framework for Pervasive Computing Environments.
free download
In this paper, we present a flexible, manageable, and configurable trust scheme for the security of pervasive computing applications. Our intention is to develop a trust framework capable of recognizing the difference between pure and managed ad hoc network
Natural language expression of user policies in pervasive computing environments
free download
The pervasive computing environments of tomorrow will typically consist of a large heterogeneous collection of networked services. In an ongoing research project, we are exploring ways to enable non-technical users to configure their environment. Our
Knowledge Usability and its Characteristics for Pervasive Computing .
